With surveys reporting that an increasing number of young men are subscribing to these beliefs, the number of women finding that their partners share the misogynistic views espoused by the likes of Andrew Tate is also on the rise. Research from anti-fascism organisation Hope Not Hate, which polled about 2,000 people across the UK aged 16 to 24, discovered that 41% of young men support Tate versus just 12% of young women.

“Numbers are growing, with wives worried about their husbands and partners becoming radicalised,” says Nigel Bromage, a reformed neo-Nazi who is now the director of Exit Hate Trust, a charity that helps people who want to leave the far right.

“Wives or partners become really worried about the impact on their family, especially those with young children, as they fear they will be influenced by extremism and racism.”

      No. See, feminism just means that women and men should be equal.

      Misogyny, hating women… and misandry, hating men… are not the same at all!

      No, wait…

      Saying that one half of the population’s problems are more important than the the other half of the population’s problems is by definition misandry and or misogyny….

      It should be obvious that women have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if women are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

      It should also be obvious that men have problems and issues that impact them more than others, and that if men are discriminated against it hurts all of us…

      Acknowledging that both men and women have issues and problems is something that some of us find difficult to do. I personally think that arguing over who has it worse is counter productive and does more harm than good.

      I personally don’t think feminism is the answer to inequity of the sexes. But it has been successful in getting society to acknowledge a lot of the systemic barriers women have faced. I also dont think we really would like the way “equality” would actually look like. “Equity” I believe would feel a lot better.

        Agree it should mean that.

        Misogyny, hating women… and misandry, hating men… are not the same at all!

        These are EXACTLY the same thing and equally inexcusable.

          Yes, I was being facetious… that’s what the “no, wait” was meant to convey

          (I was agreeing with you I should have used the /s thing but I assumed it was obvious for everything before the “no, wait”)

      I’m not arguing that neither are wrong. But misogyny has very different outcomes to misandry, and I think it’a disingenuous to argue otherwise. They are not the same in terms of repercussion.
